Two weeks workshop on
Molecular DockingPrinciples and Applications
20 Apr - 1 May 2026
Workshop
objectives
- Learn about different databases, file formats, visualization related to protein and ligand structures.
- Learn to use software and programming libraries for studying protein-ligand interactions.
- Understand the fundamental concepts related to protein-ligand docking.
- Apply the learnings to perform virtual screening of compound libraries using AutoDock suite.
- Acquire skills to effectively parse docking results and prepare publication quality illustrations.
Workshop
highlights
- Hybrid learning which includes live sessions, interactive videos, assignments.
- Flexiblity to choose timings for the live sessions based on your schedule/time zone.
- Personalised learning with individual attention and assessment tracking.
- On-demand content to learn and revise at your own pace with recordings of the live sessions.
- E-certificate upon successful completion of the workshop.
Who should
attend
This workshop is ideal for biologists who would like to learn state-of-the-art methods in modeling protein-ligand interactions. The workshop would enable participant to learn important concepts related to computational drug discovery and to acquire essential skills for effectively doing protein-ligand docking using AutoDock Suite. This workshop is ideal for those who want to learn and apply structure-based drug-discovery. Participants can be students (both undergraduates and postgraduates) or professionals from academia/industry. Participation is open to individuals from across the world and the medium of instruction will be English.

Expectations from
the participants
The workshop would involve a rigorous two weeks training; and participants are expected to sincerely dedicate time and effort for effective learning. Participants would be required to devote about twice the time of each live sessions in pre- and post- session assignments. For example, for each hour of live session the participants are expected to dedicate two hours in pre-readings, assignments, etc. The participants are also expected to engage in productive discussion during the live sessions. Participants must have a strong desire to learn new things.
